Few places on Earth are like Greece. The historical significance combined with unrivaled natural beauty make it truly a one-of-a-kind adventure travel destination. Almost everywhere in Greece is a great place to visit, but the small islands of Mykonos stands out above the rest thanks to its impeccable beaches and unique architecture.
Located in southern Greece, Mykonos covers an area of just around 33 square miles, but what it lacks in size it certainly makes up for in attractions. Adventure travelers would be remiss if they did not go diving in their visit to Mykonos, as the crystal clear waters reveal everything from traces of ancient Greek civilizations to the diverse wildlife that populates the Aegean Sea.
Though diving is a can't-miss activity in Mykonos, it is not all the island has to offer. Greece is well known for its architecture, and that is certainly on display in Mykonos. Among the most famous architectural landmarks on the island is the Church of Panagia Paraportiani. The building dates all the way back to the 1400s and its all-white look makes it an icon of Greece.
Whether scuba diving off the coast, touring the pristine beaches or enjoying the legendary nightlife, it's hard to argue that Mykonos is a Greek treasure.
